can't enable ip routing on Cisco 4500X

[Fellmerex3]

Hello, please help me.

I cant enable routing on Cisco 4500x. I add static route of last resort and other static route and type ip routing in configuration mode.

But I cant see string ip routing in running config.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.XX.YY.ZZ

ip route 7.7.7.0 255.255.255.0 10.XX.YYY.Z

Core4500_1#sh ip route static
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
       o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
       a - application route
       + - replicated route, % - next hop override

Gateway of last resort is not set

The output of show ip protocol might be helpful. Also the output of show ip route would be helpful. Are you sure that 10.xx.yy.z is a valid reachable address? Can you post the output of the attempt to ping this address?

Hello Richard, I figured out what the problem was, or rather it was not even. Cisco 4500x tuned dugim without connecting to networks, and therefore not visible in the configuration of static routes. Connecting Cisco 4500x network, everything was ok, routes become visible.

Hello
That is correct, the static WONT be added unless you have an active connected interface or the non direct nexthop is reachable by other nexthops in the route table that state have readability towards it.

Thanks for posting back to the forum to let us know that you have resolved your issue. Paul is quite right that with no interfaces connected there would not have been any entries in the route table (except for loopback interfaces) and if the next hop in the static route is not reachable then the route is not placed in the routing table.
